The Cameo Tiara

The Cameo Tiara, which belongs to the Swedish royal family, was originally a gift from Emperor Napoleon I of France to his first wife, Josephine, in 1809.

It was part of a set that also included a necklace, bracelet, and earrings. A brooch was later made and added.

It was inherited by Josephine’s son, Eugene de Beauharnais, who then passed it to his daughter, Josephine of Leuchtenberg.

She passed the tira, necklace and earrings to her daughter, Princess Eugenie, and she passed it to her nephew, Prince Eugen.

Eugen then gave the set to Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha as a wedding gift in 1932.

She became the mother of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and the parure has remained with the Swedish royal family.
